The 1953 Coronation Booklet

In 1953 all students were issued with a commemorative booklet of photograph to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It seems that everyone had the same cover and picture of the Queen, a picture of the main staircase and the faculty - but that the other contents varied depending on their form. The set was hole punched and held together with the bootlace tie.

Apart from the cover and the Queen many of the other pictures are scattered around this site. See letter from Derek Salt, here.
